Heheh...effing redneck crazy bastards. They weren’t far enough away, IMO. I saw one similar to this a while back, and a piece of the tank hit one of the guys.

And I know they have done it before.

You know how? Look at the way all the horses take off and bolt away as soon as he comes over with the gun! THEY have seen this before!!!!!!

I still couldn’t bring myself to light a tank like he did, but...he has done it before.

Crazy.

And fun.

“horses”

Watch again. They fired a shot to scare them away. Also said “There they go” as they ran.

Heh.... Quite a few years ago I worked for one if the larger chemical companies. Each year we would have several thousand compressed gas cylinders pass through and occasionally a few would get lost track of and go derelict in some corner of the facility. When found, the derelict tanks would be transported to a secure, remote area at the site's waste treatment and disposal operations. A few times year, the cylinders would be shot with a hunting caliber rifle

First, a derelict cylinder would have the contents unknown because the labeling was gone or the valve was corroded or damaged such that the cylinder could not be safely be emptied. Typical contents would be lab gasses with some inert such as nitrogen and argon and others oxidizers such as oxygen, some explosive such as hydrogen and acetylene and some poisonous such as carbon dioxide. Also never knew with certainty if a cylinder was full or empty.

The cylinders were shot from about 150 yards away. Most would be non-dramatically turned into a cylinder with a hole in it. Acetylene and hydrogen tanks would have some flame, maybe explode and sometimes go rocketing along the ground or spinning in a circle. You absolutely do not want to be anywhere near any cylinder or tank shooting at it. Dangerous plinking.

Pretty cool.......not too smart though.
